When printing multiple pages through the driver (either multiple copies of a single page or a multiple-page file), select 1st Page Preview to preview the first page of the job before proceeding with the remainder of the job; this feature is useful when printing a large job.

You can set the timeout in the printer's front panel (timeout is the amount of time the printer waits after sending the first page of a file before it continues with the remainder of the job). The default timeout is 5 minutes.
